Crassmaster: Yeah...skeptical doesn't even begin to explain my reaction to this. Someone shows up and asks about a bunch of games that they don't appear to really have any ownership rights over? Why post about it on the forums? What does that even gain them? To see if people are interested...uhhh...you need to ask if people are interested in games, especially big name titles, being released here?
None of this makes a lick of sense.
Jordon3211: be as skeptical as you like i wasn't saying you were going to see these, and you obviously dont have any legal knowedge, which would be hard if you dont know company history. your only assuming we dont have any rights. i posted on the forums bc im a happy gog customer as well and like to inform fellow gog'rs of a cool idea, nothing more. it gains proof that people want them still bc my higher ups dont know much about them. i know theyre big games, they dont know what we have there's a lot of boxes
So these guys spent their money purchasing the rights to something they know absolutely nothing about? And they have to be convinced that trying to actively sell those items would be a good thing? Again, this is just a little too weird to add up in my book.
Besides that, you keep referring to having 'a lot of boxes'. Do you mean that you and your parners bought a whole bunch of retail copies of games? A box of discs means absolutely nothing when it comes to having publishing rights. I own a copy of a good number of the games you listed...that doesn't mean I have the rights to get GOG to distribute them.
